Doubutsu no Mori All Bugs Notes:

• And make sure to do this prior to erasing game pak: set the date/time to January 2nd at 7 PM (safe) Year 2015.

• (risky Don't recommend for new runners.) change to 6:25pm October 16th-30th. this is to catch a few september bugs early but really not safe.

• ique: when rover asks you the date and time change it to the date on n64 nstc-j also

Follow this below before starting on ique:

Ique requires you to change your clock because it will reset to default clock inside the system menu. Also make sure inside the system menu thing to change it to: year 2003 and to January 2nd at 7 PM of the year 2003. (This will fix the time travel issue.) Just remember though you can't go back any further then 2003. Not too huge of a deal but fixes it for the most part.

• Only do this on iQue: when rover asks is the time set correctly say no and set it to the year 2015

• if i'm incorrect and you timed it let me know the time save for doing it. or if there isn't one but it looked like it saved time.

Tips: (When Time Traveling don't go forward go backwards.) (Good luck, have fun, and Catch'em All!) (In risky route don't set it January 2nd 2015) (Also you can only drop one item at a time.) (You can't sell more then one thing at a time unless you have more then one of that one thing) (When you try to buy something get 10 fruits at least and sell whatever else you have to afford the net and the item you need to buy to unlock it.) (If on ique don't reset the console it's only faster on n64.) (Also Banded dragon fly is way easier to catch because it doesn't despawn it just flys fast.)

(If you played the GCN title before this. This would be a lot easier.)
